I had jail broken my ipod when it was 1.1.3 and it worked perfectly but i messed it up and needed to restore my ipod. and it installed 1.1.4 on it. and now i cant jailbreak. everything works fine until the white writing goes down my ipod and it stops at “spamming waiting for responce” and then i have to start all over again and restore my ipod. Can anyone help me?

This method (with ZiPhone 2.4 or 2.5) does NOT currently work on 16gb or 32gb ipod touches as they will get stuck in a loop while updating.
I can’t currently find any way of jailbreaking them but hopefully something will be out soon.

can u help me please = The ziphone is the easiest way to jailbreak and its pretty safe as well. I’ve tried jailbreaking my itouch and ended up buying my 4th touch 🙂 Run the ziphone window and relax. It will do its thing.
Posted on March 24th, 2008 at 12:59 pm by burgerbug
Well I had jailbroken my 1.1.4 ipod touch with ziPhone and it was ok. but I turned it off and when it was on again, there was the logo of when you buy it ( connect the ipod to itunes) so I did and it said I had to restore but I didnt have internet on the laptop so i just clicked the button in ziphone to put it back without jailbreak.
From there it started to show up codes and then it just crashed.
It won’t go on…
Just as some people above…

Help?

thanks in advance

Posted on April 8th, 2008 at 4:46 pm by nicole
PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have a 8gb Ipod touch, followed ziphone instructions for jailbreak and it is forever stuck on some scrolling white text… nothing else. I can’t put it in recovery mode, when you restart the device it just restarts the scrolling text. It repeats: “BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0” the text repeats itself the entire length of the screen. I have only had this ipod 2 days and am scared it is damaged… please help me!!!!
Posted on April 11th, 2008 at 7:02 pm by cHASE
OK seriosuly i have the same problem it says BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0 PLZ HELP I”M SERIOUSLY FREAKED OUT
Posted on April 12th, 2008 at 2:42 pm by josh
okay… it is fixable, granted it took me 6 hours to figure it out. I entered the “BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0” message along with the words “Ipod touch” into the search engine and a site came up that walks you through how to correct this and fix your ipod. Basically what it came down is REPEATEDLY holding down the home and power buttons simultaneously while plugged in to the computer for 8 seconds at a time. Try this repeatedly. If you have no luck, post again and I will try finding the site!
Posted on April 12th, 2008 at 6:35 pm by Shanda
Can you please help me? I have a 32GB itouch, I tried to use the Ziphone to jailbreak, it did not finish the install, it just hung up, white text says sigleuser boot fsck not done, root device is mounted read only

I can not restore this itouch, when I try I get teh apple logo, but then I get all that white text, and it just hangs, any suggestion??
Posted on April 14th, 2008 at 4:57 am by Nick
hey man (Nick). just press and hold menu and power button. and keep holding it for ages together even when the apple logo appears again. till the apple icon with the cable appears. then just restore it with itunes. everything will be wiped off of course. but it will be working again. will have to unlock it again too.

Posted on May 30th, 2008 at 12:51 am by yudie
regarding the bsd root error,

here is how to fix it!!

1.plug ipod touch into computer using lead

2.hold the home and power button until the ipod turns off

3. keep hold of the home button but let go of the power button

4. Now , whilst still holding the power button, remove the wire from the ipod

5. immedeatley after this , whilst still holding the home button press the power button

6. You ipod will now display the cable image

7. Now what you must do is reinsert your ipod into your computer

8. Open ZiPhone again and there should be an option near the bottom left of the screen saying “click to show advance features”, click on this and then press the button “normal mode”

9. Your ipod should now return to normal mode,and you should beable to restore your ipod

well, i hope this helps people

thanks

I jail broke my iPod touch yesterday with ziphone my firmware is 1.1.4 with software update for those of you who are having the problems with the white text looping you need to hold the on/off button and the home button until it goes off and on 3 times and you will see the image you got when you first got the iPod and then plug it in and wait till your iPod is found on iTunes and then do a system restore but do NOT put the songs back on!! Then you need to close iTunes and go to ziphone download it and hook your iPod back up then click on jailbrake iPod but don’t stop clicking click it five times quickly or even a little more if you want and white text should start scrolling and when you see the words Mac Address with some numbers then quickly click the off button and then the home button and a big z will come up and rite after that there will be a picture of the flaming z and zorro with text at the bottom that said loading installer

I used the ziphone on my 16G and it got stuck in that loop. I freaked out but then I looked at the comments and saw thatsome helpful people had posted how to fix the problem. Thank you a lot and let me know when ziphone will work for 16G ipod touchs

Posted on June 17th, 2008 at 2:37 pm by rick
regarding the ‘package download failed’ , to fix this u must turn yor ipod/iphone off fully. Do this by holding the power button until the power slider appears. Slide the bar so tht ure ipod turns off, then turn it back on and try downloading again. This worked for me .
Posted on June 19th, 2008 at 5:38 am by Imran
damn this thing worked perfectly and didnt need to do all the hassle u had in ur video it worked even better ur a fricking genius thanks again man 😉

You people are all idiots. No wonder the USA is going into a death spiral of stupidity. Doesn’t anyone proof-read anything they write? Go back and read what you’ve written. You all sound like a bunch of illiterate morons….true products of our public education system. God help us!

Jim, unfortunately a lot of people eith don’t bother or don’t take much care when typing into a computer these days. However, this isn’t a literacy test, it’s a thread where people genuinely need help – not insults. 🙂

hey when I try and download or uninstall any thing from my installer from my 1.1.4 iPod touch it says
pakage download fail and I’ve tried turning it off and on fully but dosent work should I restore it and download jail break again
tap bak on osamar1@live.co.uk or .com thx
Posted on June 22nd, 2008 at 2:13 pm by Ozzy
Kate…it sounds like there’s a very mixed result base from trying to jailbreak the iTouch. I’ve been thinking about breaking mine…I even downloaded Ziphone. However, after reading the results in this forum, I’m not willing to fix that which is not broken. I’m not really willing to follow the instructions on YouTube from a bunch of 10-year olds. It doesn’t sound like there’s a great deal of confidence from the advice given on this site either. Sorry to insult, but I found it difficult to pour through all the posts above to try extract the information I need from the flurry of grammatical incompetence.

It sounds like you had success, though. Did you break yours when 1.1.4 was installed? Even if the iTouch is broken, where’s the best place to get all the 3rd party apps?

Ciao!

Jim
Posted on June 22nd, 2008 at 3:52 pm by Jim
To all those looking for a clean, clear description of jailbreaking your Touch, go to Ziphone.org. Download the app for your platform (Windows or Mac). Connect your Ipod. You don’t have to do anything else except just plug your Ipod in. You don’t have to do all that other crap like restore, sync, or whatever else you’ve been told. This whole process has been way over-explained and made to appear very complicated. Software engineers like to do that so the world of computer software becomes very nebulous and ambiguous to the lay-person. They like to make it appear that way so you have to come to them for answers. It’s like built in job security!! 🙂

If you’ve already been using your Touch (like me), then start Ziphone and simply click, “Jailbreak” on the left side of the GUI (graphical user interface). Everything will happen automatically…you won’t have to do anything except wait. You’ll see some DOS-looking text scroll across your screen, but it’s all automatic. You don’t need to touch the Ipod during this phase.

Once it’s done…YOU’RE done—your Touch is Jailbroken, and it will restart automatically! Just start your Ipod and click the installer icon. You’ll have tons of apps you can install, or go find other on the web.

Good luck…from someone who had reservations about jailbreaking mine. Worry not, young squire!
Posted on June 22nd, 2008 at 5:30 pm by Jim
ZiPhone pretty much destroyed my iTouch. I do NOT in anyway, blame ZiPhone. It was my own mistake. Instead of downloading the .NET Framework, I decided to be a smart ass and try to hack it myself. I have officially broke my iTouch.
But I hope someone out there knows how to fix it.
It’s current condition is just a bunch of codes. Then at the very bottom of the codes it repeats,

BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0

If anyone can help me, it will be very greatly appreciated.

Posted on June 26th, 2008 at 8:05 pm by alfonso
well my iphone has stucked with the apple logo and the circle spining and i have searched over internet to fix it.i have pushed the round button and the top one (on/off) together.The phone turned off.Then ive connected iphone to itunes and i have choosed the option to put the iphone to the factory values (or something like that).This will erase everything from iphone.Ive wait few minutes.Everything was fine,the phone turned on and off ok.The problem was that i found that my iphone was locked.It said to introduce an available sim card.I’m from spain so my sim was not available.Ive searched again on internet and i found the Ziphone.Believe me.Ive just install the program on my computer (windows os),connect the iphone,push the unlock option from Ziphone.A lot of numbers and letters starts to running on the iphone screen,Stoped after 1 minute more or less.After another minute start running again.Totaly 4-5 minutes or less.Now my iPhone works like new.I have 1.1.4 firmware.This happening like 3 weeks ago.I hope that my post helped someone to fix his iphone.Sorry for my english.

Posted on June 27th, 2008 at 1:24 pm by Ledi
Ledi.zIphone is for installing it on computer,not on iPhone.What do you have on your phone its only an icon which goes to zIphone website,nothing more.
Posted on June 27th, 2008 at 3:27 pm by unix
Well, I’ve tried to help as much as I can, but still people keep posting their ignorance on this website. All of this goes back to that story about the computer support technician after getting so frustrated with the moron on the phone. Finally, he gave her precise instructions: “Get your computer, all the manuals and accessories, and put them back in the box and take it back to the store…because you’re too f…ing stupid to own one.”

Put your iPod back in the box and sell it on eBay…because you’re too f….ing stupid to own one. Go to Wal Mart and buy a portable CD player.
Posted on June 28th, 2008 at 8:55 am by Jim
if you have the “BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0” don’t worry because it is fixable. All you have to do is make sure the itouch/phone is connected to the computer then hold down the Home+Sleep button till you see the recovery screen. Then the computer should detect it. if that dont work, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q5L5cH0vkg

Ziphone is a great site. It works perfectly, however he hasn’t made one for the new 2.0 software yet. For 1.1.4 users with iTunes 7.5 (not 7.7) it works amazingly, with really good sources + games etc.

I jailbrok my itouch with ziphone. It all worked fine and there was nothing wrong…. But i decided to restore it. Again it restored fine. The only problem is that the ziphone icon is still on my main screen.

sorry not the most major problem!!!
Posted on August 18th, 2008 at 8:17 am by Banjeet123
Sounds like you have ZiPhone on there still, the only way to get rid of it is to remove the ziphone.app folder from your iPhone under Applications
Posted on August 18th, 2008 at 3:54 pm by Jim
Where is applications??
Posted on August 19th, 2008 at 3:51 am by Banjeet123
Hi you crazy people

I used ziphone and unlocked my ipod, all worked fine great bit of software. then saw the upgrade your ipod to 2.0 splash screen looked good , looked liked like it installed some new apps, and at only £5.99. so I downloaded it (free) and installed the upgrade, and all it done was removed my ziphone installer and replaced it with apples installer that was it no other apps but now I have to buy the apps so I had to downgrade to 1.1.4 re-jailbreak had to do this several times as it didn’t seem to like it, still ironing out problems with it. (So for the love of god don’t bother buying or downloading the upgrade it sucks)
Posted on August 21st, 2008 at 7:06 am by Fireblade
I did the install and it never completed.

Now, I have to do a restore and I will not have all mu contacts!

Is there anything I can do to save my contacts?

For those who had unlock the iPhone with ZiPhone and they still have the icon with the zibri’s website on the screen:just hold your finger over the icon until it will start shakeing and you’ll see a ”X” on the top-right corner of the icon.Touch the ”X” and the icon will be removed.
Posted on September 8th, 2008 at 5:36 pm by unix
when i hold my finger over the ziphone icon it doesn’t shake. is it because i have the itouch?
Posted on September 9th, 2008 at 12:07 pm by banjeet123
Put your finger over one of the icons on your iPhone or itouch. Tell it starts to shake about 5 to 15 seconds. When they all shake then a (X) will will show up on the icons u can remove. When u press the (x) it will be deleted. And as for the 2.0 iPhone and the 3g iPhone u can not jail break it so far. The did a major update to the operation software and so the older jail break will not work if u find a way post it here so I will know. Ps I love my iPhone 3G. I was number 1 in line

For anyone who has tried jailbreaking their itouch and it is now stuck with white words. Hold down the power button and home button for 8seconds until it turns off. [have your iphone/itouch unplugged] when it is turned off hold the home button down, while holding plug it back into your computer. this should fix it. It fixed mine. if not go to http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43872

I’ve read numerous comments before making the final decision to jailbreak my iPod touch (16GB, v. 1.1.5.) with ZiPhone… I finally pressed the button and everything went just fine… In a few seconds it was jailbroken! Thanks
Posted on October 17th, 2008 at 12:29 pm by ClockworkPlum
Just for the record, the second button “Jailbreak -works with iPod too” means that you can jailbreak your iPod too. Make sure that your iTunes is also activated. Better luck next time..

To restore:

1. Go to the screen where it says BSd major root etc.
2. Hold the power button and the home button until it turns off.
3. Next unplug your iPod from the computer.
4. Hold the home button and then while holding it plug it in.
5. IF this doesnt work try steps 3 and 4 again.

i got a ipod touch (16gb v1.1.4) and i make the jailbreak but i cant add sources or apps or refresh sources or anything! T.T
if someone know how to fix that or how can i put my own applications in my ipod please tell me alejandromr5@hotmail.com
Posted on October 20th, 2008 at 7:11 pm by AMR
@AMR,

Are you connected to the internet while trying to refresh sources? What error does it say?
Posted on October 21st, 2008 at 1:55 am by ClockworkPlum
it says ”cannot refresh sources”
Posted on October 21st, 2008 at 5:23 pm by AMR
Probably you are not connected to the internet. Go Settings –> Wi-Fi –> select a wireless connection

If you are connected, you probably don’t have a strong signal. Sometimes it happens to me that it can’t download packages, so I solve the problem by restarting my iPod.
Posted on October 21st, 2008 at 11:59 pm by ClockworkPlum

I prefer Quickpwn… it’s just the best in my opinion. I’ve heard a lot of issues with Ziphone.
Posted on January 11th, 2009 at 2:59 pm by iPodTouchScene.com
I have a 16gb itouch and found this out the hard way. Have you been able to get yours back to normal after getting it stuck? If so, how did you restore it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Posted on February 3rd, 2009 at 6:42 pm by Oinker Bob
In that case, what do I do??? Every time I plug mine up, it gives me the screen telling me to connect it to iTunes even though it’s hooked to my computer. I put the iTouch in recovery mode and finally got iTunes to recognize that it was in recovery mode…but it said the iTouch couldn’t be restored. If there is anything I can do, please tell me. I’m desperate!!!!!
Posted on February 3rd, 2009 at 6:52 pm by Oinker Bob
download the firmware and press shift + click restore and select the downloaded firmware
and yes, its better getting a free firmware 2.2 and use quickpwn
Posted on February 5th, 2009 at 7:36 pm by AMR
Hey! Sorry my bad English. If you have problems with the jailbreaking and the well known white text who continously scrolls down the screen. If your Itouch says “BSD root: md0, major 2, minor 0? – Hold down the home and power switch simultaneously till it shuts down and starts again and release when the Logo( connect to Itunes logo the first logo that appears after you start the Itouch for the first time) appears on the screen. then go to Itunes and Restore your Itouch. I also had the same problems as you and i were so afraid that i’d screwed up my Itouch so i gave it a last try and held the two buttons simultaneously down and the screen turned off and restarted after a few seconds and a few seconds after that again the “connect to Itunes logo” appeared.
